Poker biggies shuts down
The on going UIGEA rules in US proved very effective for justice dept as the FBI has cracked down major online poker rooms such as Fulltiltpoker, Pokerstars, Absolutepoker and UB . The respective domains of those rooms were seized along with the bank accounts and player’s funds.
The arrest warrants were issued against the 11 owners of the online poker rooms. Currently the owners of full tilt and poker stars are settled in Isle of Man and the US FBI is taking the help of foreign government officials and Interpol to track them down.
Once the owners are arrested there could be a fine of more than $3billion, 5 years in prison. Another 20 years imprisonment for illegal wire act and 30 years for money laundering act.
One of the full tilt poker’s representative said in an interview that “we have operated legally in the US and we have not committed any crime by accepting US players, we adhere to rules and regulations while operating in US.
Meanwhile the investigation is still going on and the time will tell about the future of these poker room but the current situation looks very dangerous for them.
